Sunday - Anglo Saxon religion; Asia Bibi
Download Anglo Saxon religion; Asia Bibi
The British Library is hosting an exhibition on the Anglo Saxons, looking at 600 years of art, war and religion. Harry Farley speaks to lead curator Dr Claire Breay about the role of faith between the fall of Roman Britain and the Norman Conquest. David Neuberger, former President of the Supreme Court, opens up about his regrets, concerns and the difficulties facing the judiciary as part of a new series looking at the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by public servants. Asia Bibi, the Christian Pakistani woman acquitted for charges of blasphemy, is still in danger from mob violence, her supporters warn. As pressure builds on the Home Office to offer her asylum in the United Kingdom, we speak to a close friend of the family John Pontifex, from Aid to the Church in Need, and Usama Hassan, from Quilliam.
